Results: With the exception of vWA locus (P=0.001), no other significant deviations from Hardy-Weinberg expectations were found. Single locus comparisons with data on geographically close populations showed significant differences between the population of Wallachia and the population of Bucharest area, Greece, Turkey, Italy, Hungary, Belarus, and Poland, but no differences were found from the population from Croatia and Serbia.

Conclusion: According to 15 analyzed STR loci, the population of Wallachia region was found to be genetically more similar to Slavic populations of Croatia and Serbia than to other surrounding populations.
